1 m/s² = 100 cm/s²
1 cm/s² = 0.01 m/s²
To convert meter per square second to centimeter per square second, multiply by 100.
To convert centimeter per square second to meter per square second, multiply by 0.01.
Example: convert 10 m/s² to cm/s²
10 × 100 = 1000 cm/s²
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
The meter per square second (m/s²) is the SI unit of acceleration — how quickly velocity changes, in meters per second every second.
Meters per square second appear in physics problems, vehicle crash testing, and ISO engineering specifications worldwide.
The centimeter per square second (cm/s²) equals 0.01 m/s² — a compact metric scale for moderate accelerations.
Centimeters per square second suit lab instrument readouts and geophysical surveys using the centimeter-gram-second tradition.
cm/s² = m/s² × 100m/s² = cm/s² × 0.01, using the same exact factors as this converter.Jump to any acceleration conversion starting from meter per square second — including the reverse direction and every other unit in our dataset.
